Feathered Friends: Warblers, hummingbirds lingering in region9:59 am | October 15, 2012
On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 3, I found a solitary Tennessee Warbler. The following evening was much better. I found a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, two Golden-crowned Kinglets, two Magnolia Warbler and one Tennessee Warbler.
The Golden-crowned Kinglets were a little early. I don't normally see this species in the yard until much later in October.
The kinglets belong to the genus, Regulus, which is a term derived from the Latin word for "petty king." These small birds are grouped in this genus because of the colorful "crowns" visibly on the heads of adult birds. The crown patch is usually red, yellow or orange. This genus of birds has species native to North America and Eurasia.
Only the North American members — Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned — are known as "kinglets." The other members are called "firecrests" and "goldcrests."
The first of the October Saturday bird walks was held at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton on Oct. 6.
These annual walks, held every Saturday at 8 a.m. during the month of October, are conducted by members of the Lee and Lois Herndon Chapter of Tennessee Ornithological Society.
Nine people, including myself, attended the first walk. The walk attracted a visitor from North Carolina as well as a couple from Knoxville. Several chapter members also attended the walk.
We found 45 species, which is a good number for these casual walks. The species total is listed below:
Canada Goose, 43; Wood Duck, 1; Mallard, 8; Blue-winged Teal, 13; Pied-billed Grebe, 2; and Double-crested Cormorant, 1.
American Kestrel, 1; Rock Pigeon, 8; Mourning Dove, 2; Chimney Swift, 2; Ruby-throated Hummingbird, 1; and Belted Kingfisher, 1.
Red-bellied Woodpecker, 2; Downy Woodpecker, 5; Northern Flicker, 3; Pileated Woodpecker, 3; Eastern Wood-Pewee, 1; Yellow-throated Vireo, 1; Blue-headed Vireo, 1; and Red-eyed Vireo, 2.
Blue Jay, 21; American Crow, 6; Carolina Chickadee, 8; Tufted Titmouse, 5; and White-breasted Nuthatch, 1.
Carolina Wren, 13; Eastern Bluebird, 9; Swainson's Thrush, 3; American Robin, 11; and Northern Mockingbird, 2.
European Starling, 29; Cedar Waxwing, 25; Magnolia Warbler, 4; Cape May Warbler, 1; Yellow-rumped Warbler, 3; Blackburnian Warbler, 1; Palm Warbler, 2; and Northern Waterthrush, 1.
Eastern Towhee, 2; Song Sparrow, 1; Northern Cardinal, 12; Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 2; Common Grackle, 15; Brown-headed Cowbird, 1; House Finch, 2; and American Goldfinch, 7.
I managed to obtain this list thanks to Roan Mountain resident Tom McNeil, who kept track of every species the group observed using software on his phone. After the walk ended, he collected email addresses and sent any interested participant a complete list of the species found during the walk.
If you would like to see some of the migrants making their way through the region, consider attending one of the remaining morning bird walks at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park every Saturday in October. Remaining dates are Oct. 20 and Oct. 27. The free walks, which are conducted by members of the Lee & Lois Herndon Chapter of Tennessee Ornithological Society, commence at 8 a.m. from the parking lot at the park's Visitors Center. Bring binoculars to increase your viewing enjoyment.
Before leaving for work the morning of Monday, Oct. 8, I found a new arrival — a Swamp Sparrow — in the cattails. I also heard a Gray Catbird and saw both our kinglets, Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned, as well as a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
The Swamp Sparrow is aptly named. This sparrow, related to the better-known Song Sparrow, prefers wetland habitats. The stand of cattails near the fish pond has been a great place through the years to look for this sparrow during fall migration. On occasion, I've recorded lingering visits into late fall by Swamp Sparrows.
Most field guides will describe this bird as "shy," which is true to a degree. The Swamp Sparrow is also a very curious bird and will investigate any squeaking, or "pishing," noises produced by birders to lure a reluctant bird into view. The bird will usually remain in view long enough to allow for identification. However, once it has satisfied its curiosity with a look around, the bird will retreat back into hiding and can be difficult to bring into the open a second time.
Although I didn't see any Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that morning, I did see two of these small birds when I arrived home from work that evening. In addition, I found three warblers — a Magnolia, a Tennessee and a female Common Yellowthroat — that evening. The female Common Yellowthroat played hide-and-seek with me in a weedy patch near the fish pond. Forcing myself to be a little patient, I managed to get some great looks at the small warbler. At a glance, she would have looked like many "little brown birds" except for the pale patch of yellow plumage at her throat.
The sunflower seed at the feeders attracted a young Northern Cardinal (you can distinguish young cardinals because they have dark gray, not orange, bills) and an immature male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the feeders. I also observed a couple of Eastern Towhees in the yard.
Tuesday, Oct. 9, started out as a foggy, cool morning, but I managed to observe a young male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the feeders. The trademark rose-red patch was visible on the bird's breast. Other birds I saw that morning included two young Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and, somewhat unexpectedly, a Wood Thrush.
When I got home from work that same day, I flushed some Palm Warblers from the edge of the gravel driveway. When I got out of the car, I noticed three Eastern Bluebirds perched on the utility wires that run over the fish pond. I noticed a smaller bird on the wires with the bluebirds. When I scanned with binoculars, I identified the bird as a Palm Warbler.
It's not the first time I've noticed Palm Warblers associating with bluebirds. Pine Warblers and American Goldfinches also seem to share a friendly relationship with bluebirds.
At the sunflower seed feeders, I watched Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, while Ruby-throated Hummingbirds visited the sugar water feeders.
In addition to the Palm Warblers, I spotted three Yellow-rumped Warblers in the tall poplar trees. I also glimpsed a Magnolia Warbler in the stand of willows at the creek.
The Yellow-rumped Warblers represented the 19th species of warbler to pass through the yard this fall. Even if I don't add any more warblers this migration season, I feel like that's a fairly decent tally.
When the Yellow-rumped Warbler begins to arrive in sizable numbers, I know that another fall migration season is nearing its end. The Yellow-rumped Warbler is the only warbler that routines spends the winter season in Northeast Tennessee. Other warblers will vacate the region, not to return until next spring.
On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 10, I found that my feeders were still attracting visits by Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Some people have reported that they are no longer seeing hummingbirds at their feeders, so I am thrilled that these little birds have lingered as long as they have. Once they finally depart, I know I won't see any Ruby-throated Hummingbirds for the next six months . Ruby-throated Hummingbirds typically return to Northeast Tennessee each year in early April.
On Thursday, Oct. 11, I awoke to a light frost. For the first time this fall, I had to take time to defrost the windows on my car before heading to work. Despite the frosty start to the day, I enjoyed watching three Ruby-throated Hummingbirds buzz around the feeder. I'm sure they won't remain with us for much longer, so if you're still seeing them, enjoy them while you can.

The news has always depressed me, for the simple fact that all they report is the things that are going wrong in the world. I'm sure that most of you have seen the reports on the budget shortfalls that the US government is dealing with. The biggest issue on the situation is the furloughs that governmental employees are facing if a compromise is not reached. With these furloughs all Goverment employees that have Gov. issued Blackberries will be required; by law no less; to shut thier devices off until they return to work. We at Nerdberry have thought about how this is going to be enforced. How exactly are they going to monitor the usage of government BlackBerries????

Slap her?
[Kay Slay]
Yeah, when you first meet her, just slap her
Off the bat?
[Kay Slay]
Off the bat, just backhand her
Why's that, though?
[Kay Slay]
Cause later on down the line
You ain't never gotsta to worry about
That chick telling you --
"Cam, you don't treat me the way you used to"
[Laughing] That's what I'm sayin' nigga
But see the thing is with me
I don't understand how a bitch can go out
Rain, sleet, snow, fuck, suck whoever
And then go give another nigga her fucking money
[Kay Slay]
Nah Cam, you gotta understand

Oh, nah, not me Ka', I'm talking about another nigga

Now I rock karrots that I'm older
See this parrot on my shoulder?
He do the talking, I ain't concerned with words
Act up, and be returned to the birds
I return with them birds, any 28 grams
A bitch that I touch, pretty much turns to birds

Hauntin' ya aunt, all over the dawn
Using a dope then I'm gone back
Cobacabana, no joke I'm bananas
Cops come for dope it's a damper
I'm low in Atlanta, get hot, go to Savana
Rush the crib, go in the hampter
Don't follow me, "Stan-a"
If you do, I'm blowin' the hammer
That'll rip that vest apart, hit ya chest and heart
I ain't finished, that's just the start
You'll be calling for back up, praying for help
Fuck my life, I'm taking myself
All the achin' I felt
In my crib at night, praying for wealth
Bitches dissin "What's the problem ma? I ain't ballin?"
Now every ten minutes, hoes prank callin'

CUSTOMER REVIEWS FOR THIS PROMOTIONAL Jackets
26 reviews
The product was perfectly light weight for AZ. Could not find it in women's so big on female employees.
We are in FL, so there's no need for a really heavy jacket, so this one is just perfect for chilly mornings in North Central FL. The pockets are a hit with our employees. These are really nice quality jackets, the embroidery is awesome. We were leery, so we asked for a sample, and were blown away at what we got for the money. So far the only thing that I would have changed is range of color, but the conservative management here is happy with it.
overrall i liked the product. More color options would be nice.
Logo looked perfect. The product is of good quality. I am sure my client will love them.
I really like how our logo colors came out.
Product is perfect.
We love them!
They were perfect!
This is my first time of using Branders.com. At first, I was not quite sure what I will get. Fantastic!!! Especially the free sample program. I can actually see and use the product to determine if I like to purchase the order or not. Please keep this program alive. The experience between just looking at picture and use/touch the actual product, make a huge difference in my decision. Very happy with the products. Your sales contact was very helpful and made an effort to follow through the order.
The logo was supurb! The timeliness of arrival was supurb! Getting to speak to the right person was a bit confusing.
The product is very well made. We had it embroidered with our company name. The stitching is beautiful.
Great bang for the buck. Jackets aren't incredibly warm, but they are very comfortable, and will cut the wind in the spring and fall. They are also cut deep enough in the arms to make great golf jackets.
Nice features, like zippered pockets and velcro cuffs. Fleece lined so it is warm, but not hot. Not ideal for sub zero weather, but works just fine to cut a breezy chill. Inside zipper allows access to void between shell and lining. This is so that the embroidery only goes on the shell, not all the way through to the liner.
Logo looks very professional and jacket looks good. The material seems slightly poorer quality in appearance than other jackets I have purchased.
MOST: inexpensive LEAST: Could have been a little heavier weight but, it's OK for what it was meant to achieve and that is, a free thank you to my Board of directors. (Also: It should have said in the description... "Summer Weight" or "Light Weight" ... someting to that effect.) ALSO AND MOST IMPORTANT: You billed me $10.85 MORE than the quoted price. I had to get this amt. back from your accounting dept. Annoying but, on the positive side, you DID refund the amount quickly enough. Thanks
We purchased the jackets as a Christmas gift to our Board of Directors. There has been nothing but positive feedback from each director concerning the jackets. I would not hesitate to make another purchase from your company.

Our History
As told by Founders Art Clay and Ben Finley
At a time when African Americans on the ski slopes were a rarity and black ski clubs were an exception, Ben Finley and Art Clay were not deterred from their vision to create a national Black Ski Summit. The two founders met in 1972 after being introduced by a mutual friend while Finley was President of the Four Seasons West Ski Club of Los Angeles and Clay was Trip Director of the Sno-Gophers Ski Club of Chicago. They moved forward with a proposal to bring together 13 black ski clubs for an event which was called "A Happening", but was later changed to "Black Summit," at the suggestion of a member of the Jim Dandy Ski Club of Detroit. The Black Summit would represent black skiers coming together at the summit of Ajax Mountain. The purpose was "to identify and discuss problems and subjects which were unique to the black skiing population, ski and socialize", according to Finley.
The Historic gathering took place in Aspen, Colorado in 1973 and was attended by over 350 skiers. There was an overall sense of camaraderie that pervaded the event and this same feeling is still significantly associated with all Black Summits. The images of this occasion will forever stay in the minds of those who witnessed this event. As the East Coast met the West Coast, there were discussions of Teo Hyde of Chicago who was recognized as an aspiring contender for a position of the U.S. Ski Team. The formation of the national organization was set for Thanksgiving weekend in1973 in Salt Lake City, Utah. At a meeting of the club leaders, it was proposed that the primary purpose of the organization would be to place a black skier on the U.S. Ski Team. This mission was unanimously embraced by those in attendance. Thus, began the commencement of the first national organization of predominantly Black ski clubs.
The National Brotherhood of Skiers was chartered in 1974 and incorporated as a non-profit organization in Illinois in 1975. It received its 501(c)3 designation in 1978. The founding clubs were:
♦ All Seasons Ski Club (Oakland, CA)
♦ Black Ski, Inc. (Washington, D.C.)
♦ Cascaders Ski Club (Chicago, IL)
♦ Chicago Ski Twisters (Chicago, IL)
♦ 4 Seasons Northwest (Seattle, WA)
♦ 4 Seasons West Ski Club, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA)
♦ Inner City Ski Burns (Cleveland, OH)
♦ Jim Dandy Ski Club (Detroit, MI)
♦ Slippers-N-Sliders Ski Club (Denver, CO)
♦ Sno-Burners Ski Club (New York, NY)
♦ Sno-Gophers Ski Club (Chicago, IL)
♦ Sno-Rovers Ski Club (Boston, MA)
♦ Ujama Ski Club (Comption, CA)
Black Ski Summit '75 was hosted by the Sno-Gophers Ski Club and was held in Sun Valley, Idaho. Over 750 skiers attended. The clubs in attendance elected Ray Mott of Black Ski, Inc. as the NBS' first President.
History continued to be made with the NBS as Olympian, Bonnie St. John-Dean was the winner of two Bronze and combined Silver medals at the 1984 Paralympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Jahi Rohrer of Denver and Andre & Suki Horton of Anchorage competed in the U.S. National Championships. The NBS progress continues.
More recently, NBS member and US Disabled Team member, Ralph Green competed in the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Torino, Italy and 2010 in Vancover, Canada. Errol Kerr has been a member of Team NBS since 2000 and until 2009 when he joined the Jamaican Ski Team to compete in the Vancouver Olympics.
Today, the organization has grown to 60 clubs representing 43 cities and a membership of 3,000. The NBS is recognized by the ski industry as one of the largest ski organizations and its Summit as the largest gathering of skiers and riders, more than any other ski convention in the United States.
Haymond Jahi serves as the organization's president.

George Wyllie - The Berlin Burd
- 19 March — 21 June 2014 *on now
George Wyllie MBE, who died in 2012 at the age of 90, was one of Scotland's most celebrated and influential artists who believed that art was best experienced in public spaces instead of the gallery environment. He described his work as scul?ture, deliberately replacing the 'p' to signify the importance of questioning. The giant-sized Berlin Burd sculpture was displayed in Berlin during its year as City of Culture in 1988. In 2009, the Berlin Burd and a segment of the Berlin Wall were permanently displayed in a site at the former route of the Wall in Wilhelmsruher Damm.
A smaller version of the Berlin Burd, together with the scul?ture Contemplace have now been acquired by the Scottish Parliament.

Why Individuals and Businesses Need to Buy Instagram Followers and LikesMarch 6th, 2014
It is no doubt that Instagram is now one of the most influential applications in the social network world. People always want to share their experiences with their families, friends and fans, and Instagram enables them to do so in a very swift and fun way. Getting a good number of followers to be influential enough on Instagram within a short time may however be quite challenging. It is a fact that many Instagram users follow and view pictures of someone based on the number of followers the person has. This is probably why so many people have made the choice of buying Instagram followers. The increase in demand has given rise to a number of networks supplying the service.
If you get a substantial following on Instagram, many would believe that you post some lovely images or that even in real life, you are considerably influential. Many people will buy instagram followers and likes to boost their profiles to popularity on Instagram. It is a fun experience having hundreds or thousands of people viewing your photos and liking or commenting on them every day. The interaction is priceless.
Social media is not just fun, it has become a great marketing tool for businesses. Many companies find Instagram useful when promoting their products, or trying to see the reception from the public in just a matter of seconds or minutes. Instagram as a virtual testing tool is priceless, as firms save thousands of dollars, and raise interest on their new line of products. Many firms find it necessary to buy followers and likes so that they can give a good impression of the product making it easy for other Instagram users to follow suit.
It matters how other users see you or your company, and thus the need to look for means of hyping up your presence in any social network. One can buy Instagram users or just buy Instagram likes at a very good price, for fun or business, depending on the need. It has worked for Twitter and Facebook for several years, and Instagram is no different.

[Real-Time Risk Reduction Needed in a Fast-Moving World.]
While the prospect of real-time analytics tools is creating a serious buzz among business users, it's important to avoid a data deluge. Consider these tips for successful adoption of real-time business intelligence:
1. Chart a business-centric course. "This type of technology requires a business driver, not an IT-exclusive push," cautions Richard Tibbetts, CTO and cofounder of StreamBase. "Look for the business problem and who your business partner will be."
2. Develop detailed requirements. "We decided what goals we were going to achieve, how we'd measure them and what we'd need from the solution to meet our requirements," says Rob Perez, VP of trading and liquidity management systems at GAIN. "This helped us solidify what we really wanted."
3. Limit the scope. "With so many datasets, and unique identifiers within each dataset, know what needle you want to find in the haystack," advises Javier Paz, senior analyst with Aite Group. "It's not just about real-time monitoring; it's also about whether you can react to the data you're receiving."
4. Keep projects manageable. "Don't try to achieve too much," advises Perez. "When we started there was plenty of fertile ground."
5. Stay focused. "When people found out about the solution, some questioned limiting it to liquidity," Perez explains. "But it was important to stay focused, deploy quickly and then build out the solution to meet other needs."
6. Consider a staged rollout. If your situation requires multiple use cases for a real-time solution, break the overall implementation into smaller projects, suggests StreamBase's Tibbetts. "Start with a particular function or a related set of functions."

Gambrinus Started The Widest Consumer Program In The History Of Czech Beer Culture (Translation)
22 March 2012
Plzeň, March 20, 2012 - Gambrinus is enriching the world of Czech "beerers" (beer-lovers). The company has started a consumer program called Gambrinus Team that is completely new and that reflects the development of Czech beer culture and the character of Czech "beerers." During the whole year, these Czech "beerers" will very easily get thousands of attractive presents, gain experiences to share with friends, or receive their favorite beer.
Czech "beerers" can be now proud of the widest consumer program in Czech Republic. Once again, this confirms that beer is still considered to be a very popular, national drink in Czech Republic, and rightly so. "Czech 'beerers' like to gamble and bet, they drink beer together, they like fun experiences and good stories. These attributes are the building blocks of our program," Jan Doležel, Gambrinus brand Senior Manager, said.
The program is unique for many reasons. "There are nearly 350 million codes on the market designed to get points for the program. Our projection shows that we will be giving away nearly 20,000 gifts by the end of the year. The foundation of our program is to reward consumers for consuming what they like, and for doing what they usually do," Doležel added.
The new program will work based on a simple principle: "beerers" will find a special code under every bottle or can cap of Gambrinus beer. After registration of an account and entering these codes at www.gambrinusteam.cz, these codes will be entered into a system that will transform them into points. The users will be able to exchange these points for presents and valuable prizes anytime they wish. "Besides beer, an Xbox Kinect, or perhaps a soccer jersey for themselves, 'beerers' will have a choice to surprise their friends with a gift of their favorite beer, visit the brewery together, or even go on a trip abroad," Doležel explained.
The program is non-traditional not only in the attractiveness of these rewards but also in the way it works. The program is unique for its ability to target individuals, and to interconnect whole groups of friends as well, which can reach at and enjoy the most attractive prizes of the whole program. Shared experiences are the most typical characteristics of Czech beer culture and the way Czechs enjoy their beer.
To use the reward program, you just have to register by filling out a brief form at www.gambrinusteam.cz. You can start enjoying the advantages of the program right away. Systems permit registration of those who are 18 years of age and older. The information entered is used in accordance with Personal Data Protection law.

The December 7th edition of PBS's On Point with Tom Ashbrook is devoted t0 Climategate, public opinion on global warming, and the Climate Change Conference taking place in Copenhagen. Ashbrook's guests included Juliet Eilperin, an environmental reporter at The Washington Post.
Ashbrook skewed the entire segment at the very beginning of the broadcast by musing
"Will Climategate derail Copenhagen? Will we miss the window to act?"
OooOOooOOoOOoo. That sounds ominous, doesn't it?
According to Eilperin, people are hoping for "robust political agreement" out of Copenhagen. I wonder if they're going to be assuaged by Obama's EPA ruling that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant threatening the planet? This was the best Obama could do, since Cap and Trade is officially a "dead parrot." But I digress.
One of the expected outcomes, says Eilperin, is a commitment to transfer money from the richer to the poorer nations of the world to help them transition to cleaner energy technologies and combat the effects of global warming. No mention was made as to how anyone can prove these effects are caused by man and not some other means, such as volcanic activity, solar radiation, a slight wobbling of the earth's orbit, or any of a multitude of other possible causes. Ashbrook never questioned the reasoning behind the transfer of wealth from the richer to the poorer nations, either. I guess if you accept the premise that mankind is to blame for the warming of the planet, then it somehow naturally follows that American taxpayers are going to get screwed. Bigtime.
So there it is, not three minutes into the episode. The real, actual motivating force behind Copenhagen – Wealth redistribution from the productive democracies to the poorer non-productive thugocracies. If you really want to understand climate change, just follow the money. The representatives of some of the most corrupt and brutal regimes in the world get to decide how much to steal from the single most powerful economy the world has ever known. What could possibly go wrong?
And what about those pesky polls that show Americans being less worried about global warming than in the past? Well, it's mostly Republicans who are less worried about global warming, according to Eilperin. This isn't what the Pew Poll shows, but facts would never deter a true believer of the Climate Change mythos. If the facts do not support the talking points, change the facts. We must save the planet!
And what about Climategate – Thirteen years' worth of emails exchanged between some of the world's most influential climate scientists who apparently conspired to manipulate and destroy data, organized resistance to disclosure, made a mockery of the peer review process, and privately admitted to flaws in their public claims. Does Eilperin see a "smoking gun" in any of that?
No, of course not. The comments are either misrepresented or taken out of context. A "trick" is not a trick, and "hiding the decline" does not actually refer to hiding anything. This is the way scientists communicate, and anyone who disagrees is just too stupid to understand it.
If you believe that, I have some beach front property in Nevada that you might be interested in.

This study aimed to assess the accuracy and clinical efficacy of a wrist-worn device that is based on peripheral arterial tonometry (watch-PAT) to evaluate the surgical results of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome subjects.
Thirty-five subjects who were diagnosed with OSA and underwent sleep surgeries such as septoplasty, tonsillectomy, or uvuloplasty to correct their airway collapse, participated in this study; the watch-PAT-derived respiratory disturbance index (RDI), apnea and hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxygen saturation, and valid sleep time were measured after the sleep surgery.
The present study showed that RDI (32.8 ± 10.7 vs 14.8 ± 7.5), AHI (30.3 ± 8.6 vs 13.4 ± 8.2 events/h), lowest oxygen saturation (78.2% ± 8.4% vs 90.5% ± 7.1%), and valid sleep time (329.1 ± 47.2 min and a postoperative value of 389.1 ± 50.1 min) recovered to within a normal range after surgery in 28 subjects. In addition, good agreement was found between watch-PAT-derived factors and visual analogue scales for changes in subjective symptoms, such as snoring, apnea, and daytime somnolence. Seven of the 35 subjects showed no improvement for their subjective symptoms and complained of snoring and apnea after surgery. We found that the RDI and AHI of those 7 subjects were not reduced, and the changes between pre- and postoperative values which were measured with watch-PAT were minimal. Their postoperative lowest oxygen saturation and valid sleep time were not elevated per the watch-PAT. The results support a strong correlation between the findings from watch-PAT and improved symptoms after surgical correction of an airway collapse.
Our study provides evidence that the factors measured by the watch-PAT might be reliable indicators of symptomatic changes in OSA subjects after sleep surgery and also shows that the watch-PAT is a highly sensitive portable device for estimating treatment results in OSA.

I've been wondering about several things. I hope the discussion and perspectives especially from other East Asian schools of Buddhism can clear up this issue:
In Tibetan Vajrayana constant emphasis is placed on the superiority of the Vajrayana as it is the swift path within one can achieve perfect Buddhahood in one lifetime.
My question for us Vajrayana folks: How rare is that, then? Because as far as I know, even really great teachers continue to incarnate again and again and again (or is my understanding of perfect Buddhahood skewed?)
Repeatedly we hear, I'm assuming from a Sutric context, that the "normal" Bodhisattvayana takes 3 countless Aeons to achieve the paths and Bhumis.
But I'm fairly certain other masters in other schools are purported to have achieved enlightenment. And that the end goal of their practices is the same as ours: Enlightenment. And I believe their methods work. So is the exclusivist language just the Vajrayana fanclub hype? A way of increasing devotion/vigilance?
Do any other schools really say "Yeah! Join the Soto school! With our tried and tested methods, it only takes 3 countless Aeons to become a Buddha!"

Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s co-head of global mergers and acquisitions, Yoel Zaoui, is stepping down, in the latest high-level exit at the Wall Street firm.
Goldman disclosed the departure of Zaoui in an internal memo Tuesday. The London-based banker, who is 51 years old, has been with Goldman for nearly 25 years. He will remain a senior director of the firm, the memo said.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Mr. Zaoui, a Moroccan-born French national, hasn't decided what he will do next, although he plans to keep working in the same field.
His co-head, Gene Sykes, is expected to assume the title of sole global head of M&A at Goldman.
Zaoui (pronounced ZOW-ee) played a key role in building up Goldman's European franchise starting in the 1980s. He joined Goldman in 1988 as an associate in its M&A department in New York and became co-head of European M&A 11 years later. He later was named head of European investment banking before assuming his current role last year.
In 2008, Zaoui was named to Goldman's management committee, the panel that runs the firm and currently has 29 members. He was the first European banker to join that group.
During Zaoui's career at the firm, Goldman established itself as the top player in the rarefied world of merger advisory. The business has taken on increased importance since the financial crisis, which spawned new regulations that will make it more difficult for firms like Goldman to make money in other businesses, most notably trading for its own account.
The departure of Zaoui, one of the best-known bankers in the City of London, follows the exit of a number of other senior deal makers from Goldman this year, including industrials banker George Mattson and Luca Ferrari, who ran M&A for Northern Europe out of London.
A number of factors are behind the departures. Most investment bankers receive their bonuses around now, which typically triggers a wave of retirements and defections to rivals. An especially large number of high-profile banker moves have taken place lately, including the defection of Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Andrea Orcel to UBS AG, where he will be co-head of investment banking.
The recent volatility in financial markets has hit securities firms around the world hard, causing them to pare back pay and staffing levels.
The exit of senior rainmakers also creates room for up-and-coming talent, and the M&A group is one which Goldman is particularly keen to continue replenishing. The bank will name a new set of partners—one of Wall Street and the City's most coveted roles—at the end of this year.
Zaoui has worked on some of the landmark deals of the last decade, including those that created drug and steel giants Sanofi SA MT -4.83%and ArcelorMittal SA, SNY -2.23%respectively.

FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: Since being pink-slipped from my job as a construction manager almost three years ago, I've been making ends meet with a string of low-skilled jobs that don't really use my abilities and aren't leading anywhere. I keep hearing that there are a lot of opportunities in high tech, and I'd love to go after a job in that field, but I have almost no formal tech training (although I enjoy fooling around with computers and have taught myself a couple of programming languages in my spare time). I did take a few computer science courses in college, but I never graduated.
So, I have two questions: Would I have to go back and finish college to get into IT? And, even if I somehow managed to do that, what are my chances of getting hired with no work experience as a techie? — Dead End Dan
Dear Dan: It's certainly true that job opportunities are plentiful in high tech. Most in demand right now are people skilled in health care IT, security (both network and mobile), systems integration, and mobile app development. Then there's the cloud. Help-wanted ads for cloud computing are up 61% over last year at this time, according to a new study by workforce-research firm Wanted Technologies.
Altogether, says Todd Thibodeaux, head of computer industry trade group CompTIA, about half a million IT jobs in the U.S. are going begging. One reason employers can't find enough skilled hires, even with unemployment so high: a wide range of federal and state-funded grant programs are available to pay for tech training, yet most people who are eligible to apply (like you, perhaps) are unaware that the programs exist.
"It's a huge problem," says Thibodeaux. "Government agencies that administer these grants, at both the federal and state levels, need to do a much better job of getting the word out."
In the meantime, anyone interested in looking into a training for a new career can find all the relevant information on a special Department of Labor web site. More

A paper presented by Malick Ghachem, Associate, Weil, Gotshal and Manges, Boston, MA. Part of the one-day conference "Critical Perspectives on the Criminalization of Islamic Philanthropy in the War on Terror."
Transnational Muslim philanthropy has come under increasing scrutiny post-9/11. The expansive multilateral counter-terrorism measures taken internationally since September 11th – combined with pressure emanating from the United States in particular to close financing routes for transnational Islamic charitable giving – have reportedly had a dramatic impact on traditional networks of Muslim philanthropy. Though the new regulation of Muslim charities is ostensibly aimed at increasing transparency and accountability, the new rules have often been designed to prevent funds from traveling across borders, resulting in charitable monies being redirected to domestic causes or to informal networks.
While counter-terrorism measures designed to stem terrorism financing are no doubt important, the treatment of Muslim transnational philanthropy as inherently suspect has problematic implications. Disruption to traditional Muslim philanthropic networks that provide needed development aid and the potential consequence of routing charitable giving into unregulated channels are among some of the obvious pitfalls of current approaches. This symposium will address the under-studied impact of recent counter-terrorism measures on charitable institutions and practices in the Muslim world.

Pet Art Benefits Animal Rescue
Following the style of her unique PoesyArt, Linda Gorman of Gold Mountain is venturing into custom Pet Art with a portion of proceeds going to the High Sierra Animal
Rescue in Portola. Her art designs are derived from original photographs that are enhanced and processed for printing on artist's canvas, gallery wrapped on stretcher bars, and ready to hang. Interested pet owners can upload their pet photographs at Linda's website, LLGorman.com, and commission the work.
Chamber mixer, open house
You are invited to help Physical Therapist Kory Felker celebrate his fifth anniversary as owner of Plumas Physical Therapy. To mark the occasion, he is hosting a Quincy Chamber mixer Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at his practice in the medical complex behind the Plumas Pines Shopping Center in Quincy. Beer, wine, sodas and appetizers will be served. Kory, along with a well-trained staff, provide a full range (no pun intended) of services that include convenient early morning and evening appointments so you can get back on the road to recovery.
After taking some time off for health reasons, John T. Bergstrand, D.C. has reopened his chiropractic in a new location at 573 Jackson St. in Quincy across from Ada's Place. John offices were on Central Avenue, but said his new location is more relaxing and offers his patients more privacy.
With regret, Plumas District Hospital announced the early departure of Dr. Charles Eck, who was slated to work at the hospital for nine months. Unfortunately, shortly after he began seeing patients at Quincy Family Medicine, Dr. Eck learned of a personal medical issue to which he must attend immediately. No word on a replacement has been made yet.
Tiffany Leonhardt, foundation and marketing manager for Plumas District Hospital and it's nonprofit Plumas Health Care Foundation, reports that PHCF has been recognized as an authorized charity for the 2010 "giving season" by Norcal Combined Federal Campaign. Donations, including workplace payroll deductions made by federal civilian, postal and military employees through Dec. 15, 2010 support eligible non-profits, such as PHCF.

Republican U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers a liberal? Who knew?
The congresswoman from Dunn, who is serving her second term representing the state's 2nd Congressional District, is on the list of Republicans that the limited government, low-tax group Club for Growth wants out.
The Club for Growth has Ellmers on its PrimaryMyCongressman website, where people are supposed to suggest primary opponents for Republicans elected to Congress scoring below 70 percent on the Club's scorecard. The site criticizes Ellmers for siding with House GOP leadership too often.
Tagging Ellmers as a Republican In Name Only seems to conflict with a recent National Journal assessment, which said she was the 43rd most conservative U.S. House member. The National Journal scored her as more conservative than Republican House colleagues Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry, Howard Coble and Walter Jones.
Ellmers easily survived a primary last year on her way to winning a re-election.

Partisan attacks claim that the House Budget doesn't keep promises made to the American people…
In fact, the House budget:
Cuts Wasteful Spending:
House Committees are reviewing federal spending within their jurisdiction in order to identify and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse and ineffective measures.
Protects taxpayer money with integrity initiatives to root out waste, fraud, and abuse, such as investing in efforts to crack down on provider fraud, reduce improper payments, and strengthen efficiency in programs such as Medicare Advantage.
Calls for major reforms in federal contracting and procurement, particularly at the Department of Defense where there have been billions of dollars in documented abuses of no-bid contracts and overpayments.
Makes Tough Choices:
- Cuts the deficit by nearly two-thirds by 2013.
- Reduces non-defense discretionary spending - over 10 years - to its lowest level as a percent of the economy in nearly half a century.
- Also reduces non-defense discretionary spending in FY 2010 by 1.5% below the President's budget blueprint.
Cuts Taxes:
- Middle income families will see taxes cut by $1.5 trillion.
- 95 percent of American workers will benefit from the Making Work Pay tax cut - the fastest tax cut in American history - which hits paychecks this week. The tax cut is fully in place for the next two years and the President's proposal to make it permanent is accommodated in the House budget, so long as it is paid for.
- Provides for small business tax relief.
Invests in New Direction Initiatives:
- Creates jobs with significant investments and reforms of health, education, and energy and sets the American economy back on track to prosperity, global competitiveness and success.
We can't afford to wait. Failure to reform and invest produced eight years of the slowest job growth in three quarters of a century.

150 20th St, Miami Beach, FL | Directions 3313925.795439 -80.128886
Daily 6pm-2am
Neighborhoods: City Center
horrible sushi in miami – Went there when I was in Miami because I love the Bond St. Sushi in NY. The Miami one was horrible compared to the NY one (or compared to Burger King even) - the food was bad, the service was horrible (brought the appetizer and entree out at same time, when there literally wasn't enough room on the table for both, took away our waters to make them fit simultaneously), and they added all these weird charges so a bill that I expected to be $200 was $300. Save yourself a terrible time and go to Nobu or Sushi Samba when in Miami.
great sushi, romantic setting – Bond St and the Townhouse hotel are a great way to spend an evening out of the chaos of South Beach. I have read reviews about it being hard to get into and maybe if you go early on a Friday like we did its the way to go. Our res was for 8pm. The quality and flavor of the sushi is excellent. The only small comment I could make is that the pieces seem a little bit smaller than what we're used to getting in nyc sushi restaurants. As far as the decor I loved the small tables and comfy couches and pillows, its makes it perfect for cuddling while nibbling.
Service was great too., ours was very patient with us even though we were there for a couple hours ordering a couple items at a time and eventually had almost the whole menu.
some of our favorites were the lobster tempura, scallop sushi, and grilled sea bass skewers
User review by theduke37 – Fantastic, investive sushi, outstanding service, really hip environs and a well-selected wine list. Price are high, but not as high as many other places in South Beach in terms of the overall check. Highly recommend all of the traditional fish sushi, plus the beef tataki, eggplant appetizer and the sundried tomato and avocado maki.
Desserts didn't look too exciting. Swing on over to the Delano for a night cap and heavenly dessert there.
SushiMushi – Ambiance, Attitude. Waiting! Waiting! Waiting!What you get on a Friday, Saturday night. Not the greatest sushi.
Compare everything to Toni Sushi. Toni wins overall. No attitude, great servive always.
Great Food with a little attitiude – The place is very romantic... a bit hidden but near all the action. Has a bistro feel - small table, close quarters, couches and small single bench seats. A few people in the cafe can make the place quite loud. The menu is amazing - great wine list, too. Loved everything we ate. The service is fair and the wait staff has a bit of the infamous SOBE attitude (which is not a good thing). Prices are high for sushi - but you are paying for the experience, too. Recommended for couples / friends looking for fun evening before night out on town.
This lounge in the Townhouse Hotel is hipper than it is comfortable, but the freewheeling nouveau sushi is superb. – The Scene
Nobody ever said chic would be easy. The small, bi-level dining room can get sardine can-crowded and rock concert-loud, both of which you might overlook in the dim light while hunched over tiny, low-set tables trying to get your food to your mouth via chopsticks. It's an arrangement only optometrists, chiropractors and dry cleaners can love.
The Food
It's an exciting and innovative interpretation of Japanese cuisine. Nigiri sushi is exquisitely fresh and addictive, especially unctuous toro (tuna belly) and almost candy-sweet shrimp. Maki sushi is more daring but equally delightful. Don't miss the luxurious lobster tempura roll and arugula roll with crispy potato sticks. The seviche quartet (lobster, salmon, octopus and fluke) is excellent; gently steamed sea bass topped with aromatics and sizzling oil is sublime. Even teriyaki-style grilled sirloin is a revelation. Green tea tiramisu is perfectly done, but perhaps an acquired taste, but the molten-centered Valrhona chocolate cake is a taste everyone should acquire.
SoBe Sushi at its Best! – Dined in this very trendy, small yet roomy, sushi place and enjoyed every bit of it. Location is very confidential and located downstairs of the "Townhouse" but once you're in, you never want to leave. Expect to pay but not as much as others nearby. It is fair priced, but well worth the cash. Every sushi dish has its own dipping sauce for flavors that will astonish you. Have a drink or two, as their martinis will hit the spot. Make a reservation and Enjoy!
Atmosphere, Great Food – Love this place, I eat here every time I visit South Beach. Great Green Tea Martinis and the best eel I have ever had. Spicy Tuna Roll with Chili Mayo is a must. Hard to get a table sometimes due to size of restaurant but when you do you are nicely surprised with the delicious food, drink and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Best Sushi in Miami – Very interesting atmosphere, loungy and with good music and beautiful people.
Best sushi I had in Miami. The chocolate meltdown for dessert is to dye for.
Bad service/good sushi – I am a regular at the Bond Street when in NYC so decided to give this one a try. The experience was mixed. Food was first rate...Service was terrible. Waited an hour or so for table at the bar, hostess then told us we would be seated in "a few minutes." The "few minutes" became another thirty minutes. Aftger being seated, server took fifteen minutes to take a drink order. After we complained, our first round of drinks was on the house. Then in an attempt to redeem themselves, hostess planned to surprise us with comp dessert....but inattentive server accidently put the dessert on the bill, which she gave to us before the dessert arrived. Though overall it was a bad experience, I appreciated the attempts to make us happy with the commplimentary items. I always recommend the Bond Street in NYC and would give this one another try.
